The Constitution enshrined Congress as the dominant branch of government, giving Congress, not the President, most of the powers in defense and foreign policy. This comprehensive book shows how the presidential aggrandizement of greater powers has only been possible because of congressional abdication. However, this expansion of the executive's role was still relatively contained until the Cold War when undeclared, permanent war became ongoing policy, and then the post-9/11 war on terror dramatically expanded the President's role. Such expansion has had deleterious effects on U.S. foreign policy abroad, as well as a major erosion of the republic, its security at home, and the liberties of American citizens. War and the Rogue Presidency is an in-depth examination of the history of the congressional-executive tug-of-war over U.S. security policy and why reclaiming constitutional standards is essential to restore both an effective national defense and civil and economic liberties. To get Congress to do that, Dr. Eland presents ways in which internal congressional incentives could be changed to provide motivation for legislative push-back. As a result, the book suggests important actions Congress could take for such a push-back along with other reforms that would effectively rein in the rogue presidency."--Publisher's description. 610 10 $a United States. $b Congress. 610 17 $a United States. $b Congress. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00529490 650 0 $a Separation of powers $z United States. 650 0 $a Executive-legislative relations $z United States. 650 0 $a Executive power $z United States. 650 0 $a Legislative power $z United States. 650 0 $a Legislative oversight $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government. 650 7 $a Executive-legislative relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00917874 650 7 $a Executive power. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00917857 650 7 $a Legislative oversight. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00995810 650 7 $a Legislative power. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00995815 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a Separation of powers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01112740 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20200318013751.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2DDCC0BE0CF611EA99B9112E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
